"Luo Dongjun, stop following me." I turned around and sized up Luo Dongjun sitting atop the old Thunder Dragon. Vigilance rose in my heart. Even the Swift Ghost couldn't confirm the coordinates. If Zhao Qian were here, things might be easier, but since I couldn't find the entrance, I could probe for it.
Without paying Luo Dongjun any more attention, I summoned the Substitute Ghost Gu. After glancing at the place that looked most like an exit, I charged straight into it.
Luo Dongjun froze when he saw my soul clone, but when he saw the Substitute Ghost Gu plunge into the chaotic immortal-qi currents, a crafty arc spread across his lips. As expected. The moment the substitute entered the currents, it was hit by violent turbulence. The Ghost Gu couldn't even maintain its form and was instantly blasted back into the shape of a mosquito, blown far away in the currents. Yet that wasn't the end. Unable to control its body, it was swept into even stronger currents. With a bang, the strand of divine sense I had attached to the Ghost Gu vanished.
That probe made me suck in a sharp breath. The chaotic immortal-qi currents of Lei Province truly weren't child's play. Every province had its own unique immortal-qi currents, and crossing between provinces was no easy matter.
Even with a map, taking the narrowest sea route had still taken a month. After finding the entrance and then entering Yun Province through Lei Province, our time would soon run out. By then, never mind finding the Phoenix Clan—even reaching Yun Province would be a problem!
It seemed I had no choice but to seek Luo Dongjun's help. Yet instinctively, I felt he couldn't be trusted. If he led me even slightly astray, everything would truly be over!
